Editorial Reviews

Review
"Fearless Remodeling bridges the gap between homeowner and contractor. I think it fairly presents the responsibilities each has to make a project run smoothly." -- M. O'Toole, contractor

"Fearless Remodeling" has given me a new sense of control over the work being done at my house. No more headaches, no more surprise fees and charges. My only regret is that I didn't start reading it sooner." -- S. Israel, homeowner

"This book has been much needed for quite a while. Finally consumers can get help navigating their way through any remodeling project, big or small." -- Meami Craig, lifestyle reporter and family columnist

Product Description
User-friendly and jargon-free, this "how-to" book delivers seven simple steps to home improvement success. The easy-to-follow format and lighthearted illustrations take the reader from concept to completion with straightforward advice, checklists, and insightful tips on everything from setting design and budget parameters, to contractor selection and quality control. Complete with contracts and a construction "troubleshooting" guide, this resourceful remodeling reference enables readers to cut through the confusion and prevent common, costly remodeling mistakes.

Empowering advice for both novice and seasoned homeowner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Real Help for the Homeowner!, December 20, 1999
By Barbara Marks (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
I recently moved into an older home in a new city. Before I even considered any remodeling, I looked around for books that could help get me started. This one was great! The worksheets really helped. I really appreciated how much content there was and how many great suggestions the author had for staying within my budget. Thanks Fearless Remodeling!

5.0 out of 5 stars Peabody's Choice, December 13, 1999
By Mr. Chester J. Peabody (Wilmington, North Carolina) - See all my reviews
I felt so helpless when the contractor set such a high price -- I had know way to know whether it was fair or not. The whole process was just getting out of control, and my friends were no help at all. Then I read Susan's book, and I learned how to get back on top of things. Her advice helped me remodel my kitchen, and soon we're going to start on the bathrooms. My wife and I feel this book is an essential part of our success.

5.0 out of 5 stars All you need is here!, December 13, 1999
By B.B. McGillicuddy (Manakin-Sabot, VA) - See all my reviews
Having spent the past several months in search of sound remodeling advice, I was delighted to find all the advice I needed in a single book. Susan Luxenberg lets you in on all the trade secrets contractors don't want you to know ... like how to avoid getting ripped off. I probably saved $15,000 by reading this book -- and now I have a new car to put in my new garage!

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent introduction to do-it-yourself remodeling.
Okay, I don't do remodeling so...keep that in mind when you look at my Stars score. However, my Daddy did and I like to think that a little bit rubbed off. Marvelous! Read more

Thanks to this book, I stopped a contractor from extracting yet another $5,000 from my wallet. An essential tool ...
